Q&amp;A - All medals (BF1)

I'll try to help the best I can with any tips or guiding towards achieving any specific medal. Since I have got all the medals myself, I can say that I feel confident helping anyone out how to do it.
First off all there are 3 steps of requirements.

Step 1: Skill! Are you noob or just don't play that much. Then stop wasting your time...Step 2: The Medal-system is kind of **** (If it hasn't been a recent patch for it yet). The 5 weekly medals will be randomly obtainable and you need to cross your buttocks that you'll see the ones your after to appear. Be patient.Step 3: Some medals are really hard to get, don't get mad at the game or your counter-players for ruining everything for you. Beacuse they will!

Any other than that. Fire away!

The hardest medals are the ones where you need to play 1 or 2 specific maps because it can get really frustrating to join games at 950 points...
None is really hard from a gameplay perspective but for some you need a bit of time.

@Callahan44er, indeed it is frustrating. You have you have to be dependent on other players to play that specific map or mode aswell. The key is to give it time and continuously refresh servers. I had the same problem with certain maps and game-modes. I know it is time consuming but eventually you will find the right map. There are still many servers operating with random maps and different modes.
unfortunately I have no great solution for entering a late game. That's just a bittersweet part of BF

I think thats the one you referring to. I laughed so hard while playing for this one just hitting a enemy with a sniper-rifle(not a headshot) and then hope for my squad-member to finnish the job! I played Team-Deathmatch for this one and I luckely got it pretty quick.

Even the "Squad Avenger kills" makes you have to play awfully, fallowing your team around and hope for them to die so you can avange them right after.

The ones where you need "suppression assists" or kills are the worst. Not "squad suppression assists", but normal ones. Because squad assists don't count for some reason, it means you not only need to miss your targets you need to stay away from or leave your squad to get them.

The stupidest criteria had to be the French medal that required you to get 25 kills as a tanker, outside your tank. So, you had to spawn in a tank, then abandon said tank, and proceed to get 25 kills as infantry. It didn’t count if you were a gunner in a tank, or if you used stationary weapons. Only infantry kills counted. So, you got one or two kills with your lousy primary. Then you had to wait for a new tank to spawn in and abandon. Not fun, and a tremendous waste of team assets.

Ok I've got one: what's the best tactics for getting 5 kills in one life with a revolver? I've attempted this medal a few times now and always get stuck on that part.

The way I did it was on a Back to Basics server. Played as a medic, and did the old scout trick of shooting once with the rifle, and then switch to sidearm to finish the kill. Since I was a medic, I could myself between engagements. Maybe hard to find a Back to Basics server nowadays, though.

Thanks to you as well bud. I did try finding a B2B server yesterday coincidentally but it's like gold-dust unfortunately. Mind you I did find an active Air Assault one last night to finish another medal so there's always hope.

If I can't find a B2B server and the tower method doesn't work I'll just try sticking with the zerg and see what happens.

They later changed the criteria, to tank kills.

That one was ridiculous, yes, but was a bug (or a mistake), which they fixed. The team assist one is still in lol.

Thank you all for the tips as they've all been a massive help. I'm still yet to tick off the medal but now have the headshots out of the way (cheers campy snipers lol). I made a few attempts at the five kills in one life but kept dying to the fifth guy and there weren't any medics around. However I'm confident that with your tips I'll get it done tomorrow.

Not saying you should do this but camping a spawn point could work for getting five kills as well. I have not gotten that medal yet either by the way.
